"Tomorrow, I'll be attending a conference at the Reeds City Hall. The event includes government officials and key corporate leaders, so media access is very limited. You can be my secretary if you want to join." Kyle cut into his steak, then turned to Lysia with the offer.Lysia was engrossed in the soothing melody played by the pianist on stage. The restaurant Kyle had chosen specialized in European cuisine, and everything—from its décor to the classical music—exuded the elegance of old European artistry. It was only when he handed her a plate of steak that she snapped out of her reverie and looked directly at him."Were you even listening to me?" Kyle frowned slightly.Since tonight’s dinner was meant to thank Kyle for helping her meet Zane Grayson, she simply smiled, raised her wine glass, lightly tapped it against his, and said, “Y-Yes, I heard.”After taking a sip of wine, she continued, “Kyle, I’m a journalist, not a paparazzi. A government-organized conference will undoubtedly
"Lysia, what the hell are you doing?" Henry threw the shopping bags aside and rushed into the store. The first thing he did was yell at Lysia with a sharp, furious tone.He caught Camilla in his arms and asked anxiously, "What happened? Are you okay?"Camilla's eyes welled up with tears as she weakly clung to Henry, sobbing, "Babe, my stomach hurts so much. Our baby..."Her sobs grew louder as she pointed at Lysia and accused her, "She pushed me just to fight over a necklace! If anything happens to our baby, you have to make her pay. Ouch..."Henry turned to Lysia with eyes full of hatred and disgust. His voice was laced with fury as he barked at the store employee, "What are you standing there for? Call an ambulance, now!""Y-yes, Mr. Reinhart!" The employee stammered before scrambling to find a phone.Amidst the chaos, Lysia stood frozen, her face pale as a sheet. Fear gripped her heart as she questioned whether she had truly hurt Camilla and the baby. No matter how much she resente
“You look so beautiful today, baby. You’re so sexy and alluring that I want to thrust into you right now.”That was the compliment the groom gave his bride’s best friend before entering the aisle. Could you believe that? And then, lewd moans, gasps, and fucking noises were heard amidst the melodious wedding music.So what do you think the bride would do if she found out that her groom and his best friend were cheating on her right on her wedding day?Lysia imagined that she would rush into and beat this dirty couple. She wanted to expose their true colors in front of all the guests to put an end to the grand wedding she had prepared. And then with just one article she could write, they would no longer be able to show their faces in Reeds City with their disgusting reputation.But that was just a fantasy!“Baby, don’t worry. After Lysia gets married, the Kingsley family will transfer her a portion of their inheritance as a wedding gift. Once I persuade her to give me that massive sum,
“Congratulations on your wedding, Lysia!” The last few guests hugged her and gave their blessings before leaving.The forced smile on Lysia’s face was opposite to their sincere eyes. “Thank you!”, replied she.Now, alone in the wedding hall, surrounded by thousands of fresh roses and dressed in a stunning bridal gown, Lysia glanced down and gently twisted the ring on her fourth finger. A single tear rolled down her cheek.Lysia had originally prepared herself to be the most beautiful bride today. She had chestnut brown hair neatly tied up high, the strands falling to frame her oval face and her bright blue eyes. But now, she didn’t need to look in the mirror to know how bad her state was.“Lysia, we need to talk.” A man's angry voice rang out from behind Lysia, and not even a second later, she was roughly pulled back.Lysia gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, “Get your damn hands off me right now!”“Lysia, you—” Henry stuttered as he met her gaze, then he criticized, “On any othe
Kyle Reinhart, the newly appointed CEO of Reinhart Group, the largest corporation in Reeds City and one of the country's top 10 most powerful groups. He had just returned from the UK after successfully establishing five new branches there.After a long process of proving his outstanding ability, Kyle was given the right to take over the group at the age of 32. That also meant he became the second most powerful person in the Reinhart family, only after his father, Charles Reinhart.As Lysia focused intently on her iPad screen, she realized this was all she knew about the man. To her memory, Henry had never once mentioned his brilliant youngest uncle. It seemed as though the entire Reinhart family maintained a certain unease about Kyle’s presence.While Lysia genuinely admired Kyle’s talent, anything involving the Reinhart family now made her feel uneasy. Her presence here today was purely for work, and she also had something to deliver to Kyle Reinhart—the man who had unexpectedly beco
"Let's get married." A deep voice echoed through the quiet room.Kyle sat on the sofa, crossing his legs with a calm smile.His eyes focused intently on Lysia's, studying every expression on her delicate oval face. Today, she wore a simple white business dress, her wavy brown hair tied neatly into a ponytail. Even without the adornment of expensive jewelry, she radiated confidence and elegance.Lysia was so taken aback that she didn’t respond immediately.Slowly sitting down across from Kyle, she kept her back perfectly straight, her every movement exuding an innate elegance and nobility. With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, she said, "You’re quite amusing. I already transferred $50,000 through your assistant, and our transaction is complete. I, Lysia Kingsley, would never sell myself into marriage for such a low price, Mr. Reinhart.""What if I offer you something far greater?" His lips curved into a smile, his sharp, confident gaze seeming to see right through her.Without waiting f
"Why am I the last person to know that I'm supposedly engaged?" Kyle demanded angrily. He strode toward Lysia with long, urgent steps, quickly helping her to her feet as his gaze fell upon her swollen, reddened ankle.His chest rose and fell rapidly with barely fury. Pulling Lysia close, he declared, "This woman, Lysia Kingsley, she is my wife. Insulting her means insulting me."Lysia snapped back to reality at his words. She grasped his arm and cleared her throat, "Kyle, we need to talk…"Jessica’s revelation had shaken her to the core. Lysia had already come to terms with the madness of her own actions on their wedding day—the reckless decision that had set off a chain of chaotic events, resulting in their contractual marriage. But she had done her research. She had made sure Kyle was single. And now, out of nowhere, a supposed fiancée had appeared? She had been betrayed, and of course, she did not want to cause suffering to another woman in this manner."Kyle, you can’t just spoil
After the auction ended, Lysia left with a sense of disappointment after losing the necklace she had adored. However, she needed to finish this article right away to meet tomorrow’s publication deadline.But life seemed to have a way of teasing her. Despite having pushed her concerns about Kyle and Wendy aside, the woman suddenly appeared right before her.“Hello, you’re Lysia Kingsley, aren’t you?” Wendy blocked her path, flashing a beautiful smile and extending her hand.Lysia adjusted her posture, slightly puffing out her chest, and her voice was no longer tired, “Yes, that’s me. I know you, Wendy Morgan, right?”The corner of Wendy’s mouth stiffened and became somewhat forced. There was a brief silence before she spoke again, “Haha, y-yes. May we have a little chat? I have a gift I’d like to give you.”“A gift?” Lysia’s mind was struggling to process this unexpected information.Her eyes widened in disbelief as she blinked rapidly, probably three times. She then looked around the

“Then do you want to sleep in the same bed with me?” Lysia cleared her throat, suddenly relaxed her facial muscles, and smiled seductively.She used two fingers to playfully roll along his Adam’s apple and touched the collarbone hidden under his white shirt. Gently biting her lower lip, she looked at him with sparkling eyes and softly said, “Kyle, this bed is a bit small. And my sleeping posture is very bad, I might push you to the ground. Only when I’m 'exhausted' will I be unable to do anything…”Her words were full of steamy ambiguity, as long as an adult heard them, they would understand what she was implying.Kyle felt his ears gradually heat up, and a swelling under his pants. Swallowing his saliva down his dry throat, he hesitantly said, “I-I think…”Lysia put her finger across his lips. Then, she easily unbuttoned one of her nightgown buttons, and her breasts vaguely were revealed to Kyle, “Let me tell you something, I am still a virgin. Have you ever experienced the feeling o
